The pairing that matches types of substances with the items they donate typically involves acids donating protons (H⁺ ions) and bases donating hydroxide ions (OH⁻). For example, when an acid like hydrochloric acid (HCl) donates a proton, it becomes its conjugate base, chloride ion (Cl⁻). Similarly, a base such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) donates hydroxide ions, resulting in the formation of its conjugate acid, water (H₂O). This proton donation is central to the Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory.
